Rich and tasty, this glossy frosting can be poured over a cake or used to spread inside a cake as a filling, or to cover the cake as a topping.

Ingredients

  • 115 g/4 oz plain (semisweet) chocolate, broken into pieces
  • 50 g/2

Method

  1. Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water.

  2. Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg, icing sugar and vanilla. Whisk until the frosting is smooth. Use at once or leave to cool and thicken.
